This is one of the most popular options within the China Alive program. During five days, we will explore culturally diverse Yunnan province. We will learn about Naxi minority culture while visiting the ancient town of Lijiang, with its picturesque and traditional architecture and its beautiful streets filled with handicrafts shops. The Jade Dragon Snow Capped Mountain’s landscape is breathtaking and dramatic. On our way to Shangri-la, a fabled town with impressive Tibetan temples, we will stroll along the edges of the legendary Tiger Leaping Gorge on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. At Shangri-La we will visit an orphanage, a Tibetan monastery, have time to ride horses and practice archery and at the end of the day relax in a hot spring resort. This trip will put students in close contact with the thousands-year-old traditions and cultures of our host country, China. Plus, you will have time for shopping!
